Optimization of Collaborative Planing and Decision Making in the Tourism Supp...Chiang Mai University
In the tourism industry, planing and decision making are complex operations. Mutual operations and activities are required across tiers in the supply chain including suppliers, service providers, intermediaries (travel agents and tour operators) and customer (tourists). Such interdependent processes are also vary across various stages in the supply chain starting from planning, pro- curement, purchasing, productions, transports, inventory/storage, sales and proportion as well as customer services. By making decisions in these stages, the objective of all parties should be to maximize the overall profit of the supply chain as a whole, not for individual. By making a decision with collaborations across the supply chain, the collaborative firms could gain a better outcome. Such collaborations can be done in every stage especially forecasting, planning and execution. To support such collaborative decision making, a tourism supply chain optimization model was modeled. The model includes main supply chain players such as suppliers, hotels, travel agents and tourist attractions. The model was developed to maximize the profit of the whole supply chain. In comparison, the model was also compared to the scenarios where individ- ual profit is the objective. The actual data from the tourism supply chain in Thailand was used to validate the model. The optimization found that the supply chain profitability can be reached when the decision making is made under collaborations in the supply chain. The outcome can be greater when the collaborations are supported by information sharing and team work.
This PhD thesis examines value creation and appropriation in product returns management within a supplier-retailer-third party logistics (3PL) triad.

Influence of Big Data Analytics in Supply Chain Management- A case study in B...Monwar Anik
Big Data Analytics (BDA) has the potential to improve demand forecasting, communications and better manage supply chain resources. Despite such recognized benefits and the increase of BDA research, little is known about the general approaches used to investigate BDA in the context of supply chain management (SCM). In the light of the Resource-based View, the main goal of this study was, by means of a systematic literature review, to comprehend how BDA has been investigated on SCM studies, which resources are managed by BDA as well as which SCM processes are involved. Our study found out that the predictive and prescriptive approaches are more frequently used and organizational, technological and human resources are often managed by BDA. It was observed a focus on Demand Management and Order Fulfilment processes and a lack of studies on Returns Management, which indicates an open research area that should be exploited by future studies

The purpose of this study was to establish the influence of strategic partnership management practice on supply chain performance in tea firms in Kenya. The study was guided mainly by Resource Based Theory. Explanatory research design was adopted. The target population was 4200 respondents from 12 tea firms. Purposive and proportional sampling was used to select a sample size of 365 respondents comprising of staff, top management and suppliers. Questionnaires and structured interviews were used to collect primary data. Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and linear regressions were used to test strength of the relationship between variables. The strategic partnership practice positively influences the supply chain performance among the tea firms[r=.535, n=231, p<.05]. The regression model indicated that strategic partnership practice account for 28.7% variation on supply chain performance. Hence tea firms enhanced strategic partnership practice purposely to improve supply chain performance by widening supplier relationships among the stakeholders. Tea firms should therefore embrace sound partnership practices to enhance firms’ supply chain performance which in turn lead to profit maximization.
Key Words: Strategic, Partnership, Practice, Supply chain Management, Supply Chain Performance, Tea Firms
Quality is one of the key factors for open educational resources (OER) to gain mainstream acceptance and become part of an open educational practice (OEP) within higher education. Students and teachers need to be able to see the resource’s trustworthiness, target groups, areas of use, context, accessibility etc. What quality criteria can be placed on OER and how do we establish credibility?
In this webinar you will meet the following experts in this area:
Professor Gráinne Conole (University of Leicester, UK) is a well-known expert in the field of open education and is involved in many international initiatives and organisations. She will describe current work with OER quality issues. She will also give examples of a number of relevant projects.
Dr. Ebba Ossiannilsson (University of Lund, Sweden) has recently published a doctoral thesis on quality and benchmarking of e-learning in higher education (http://jultika.oulu.fi/Record/isbn978-952-62-0041-5). She will focus on how benchmarking can be used as a method for quality assurance in an open educational culture. She will also briefly present the main international quality methods in this field.

Follow-up Interviews
Joint activities can enhance the creditability and
comprehensibility of the information shared between supply
chain.
Such activities can provide an opportunity to build
inter-person trust and personal relationship between hotels
and their supply chain partners.
Hotel managers are more likely to believe in data if they knew
and trusted the person that gave them the information.
Joint activities are a necessary when firms share their
information with supply chain partners.

Conclusions
Firms can the enhance benefits from supply chain
collaboration if their employees work together with supply
chain partners in a joint team.
Supply chain collaborations leads to better inter-firm trust.
Such trust can further improve logistics performance and
inter-firm satisfaction.
